Before I continue let me state this" This radio looks awesome, good job product design. Let's get back to it. You can only tell the optical difference when the car is not running meaning no wind noise, engine noise or AC. It was at the u is point that I realized that wasted a lot of money. I can't really judge the sound because I upgraded to 8 jl audio c7 speakers and vxi amplifiers, and in use tidal for hi res audio. This all adds to the listening experience, so I can't say just the radio sounds good. I can however say I love they way my overall SYSTEM sounds though. I just feel that I could have gotten a very comparable sound for an 1/8 of the price. Would I recommend this? No:
Do I feel as if I just wasted money? Yes: in this case I feel like I would have been better off with the normal $400 radios. Lastly whats the point in bragging about how one could hide their radio and control it from their mobile device whe using the highest resolution cable (optical)when all of the options are grayed out. Needless to say this will on ebay soon as some comes out with the next flagship radio.

It is NOT for people who looks for "gimmicks" or "ease of use", Although I found it simplicity refreshing and very easy to use ! If you look for the Best of the Best Sound Quality (at this moment), then Sony RSX-GS9 will be PERFECT for you. I owned many high end head unit before like Nakamichi CD-700 Mk2, Nakamichi TD-1200 Limited etc., and this Sony have similar analog audio quality but with much better digital audio capability! One last thing, also like the touch, feel and design, it feel high end, unlike the "light in Tokyo" design of other head unit out there!
